Buddhism
The story of Krishna occurs in the Jataka tales in Buddhism [15] in the Ghatapandita Jataka as a
prince and legendary conqueror and king of India. [citation needed] In the Buddhist version, Krishna is
called Vasudeva, Kanha and Keshava, and Balarama is his younger brother, Baladeva. These
details match that of the story given in the Bhagavata Purana. Vasudeva, along with his nine other
brothers (each son a powerful wrestler) and one elder sister (Anjana) capture all of Jambudvipa
(many consider this to be India) after beheading their evil uncle, King Kamsa, and later all other
kings of Jambudvipa with his Sudarshana Chakra. Much of the story involving the defeat of
Kamsa follows the story given in the Bhagavata Purana.
[citation needed]
As depicted in the Mahābhārata, all of the sons are eventually killed due to a curse of sage
Kanhadīpayana (Veda Vyasa, also known as Krishna Dwaipayana). Krishna himself is eventually
speared by a hunter in the foot by mistake, leaving the sole survivor of their family being their
sister, Añjanadevī of whom no further mention is made.
[citation needed]
Since Jataka tales are given from the perspective of Buddha's previous lives (as well as the
previous lives of many of Buddha's followers), Krishna appears as one of the lives of Sariputra,
one of Buddha's foremost disciples and the "Dhammasenapati" or "Chief General of the Dharma"
and is usually shown being Buddha's "right hand man" in Buddhist art and iconography. [16] The
Bodhisattva, is born in this tale as one of his youngest brothers named Ghatapandita, and saves
[citation needed]
Krishna from the grief of losing his son.
Abrahamic religions
Bahá'í Faith
Bahá'ís believe that Krishna was a "Manifestation of God," or one in a line of prophets who have
revealed the Word of God progressively for a gradually maturing humanity. In this way, Krishna
shares an exalted station with Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb,
and the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, Bahá'u'lláh. [17]
Ahmadiyya Islam
Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believe Krishna to be a great prophet of God as
described by their founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad:
Let it be clear that Lord Krishna, according to what has been revealed to me, was such a
truly great man that it is hard to find his like among the rishis and avatars of the Hindus.
He was an avatar (i.e. a prophet) of his time upon whom the Holy Spirit would descend
from God. He was from God, victorious and prosperous. He cleansed the land of the Arya
from sin and was in fact the prophet of his age whose teaching was later corrupted in
numerous ways. He was full of love for God, a friend of virtue and an enemy of evil. [18]
Other
Krishna worship or reverence has been adopted by several new religious movements since the
19th century, and he is sometimes a member of an eclectic pantheon in occult texts, along with
Greek, Buddhist, Biblical and even historical figures. [19] For instance, Édouard Schuré, an
influential figure in perennial philosophy and occult movements, considered Krishna a Great
Initiate; while Theosophists regard him as one of the Masters, a spiritual teacher for
humanity. [20][21] Krishna was canonized by Aleister Crowley and is recognized as a saint in the
Gnostic Mass of Ordo Templi Orientis. [22][23]
